Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Standard and Glistening?

Standard has no shimmer. The Glistening versions add gold, dark green or purple-blue particles to the red.

Is it a limited ink?

It is a 2026 special edition, so it may not be restocked once sold out.

Is it water resistant?

No, it is a standard dye-based ink.

Pen pairing ideas

A red ink like this suits a fine-nibbed pen for corrections or a broad nib for bold headings; it looks smart in a black or red pen with gold trim.
